Fasanya, Swindon Wiltshire, I need advice on my child's

Hello, my name is***** hope you are well today. I am a qualified Solicitor, and I will be able to help you by providing you with an answer to your question today. I specialise in UK and Irish Law. I am not always online but rest assured if I do not respond immediately I will respond when I return.

Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your question or anything else you would like to add before we continue?

Are you referring to a visa application?

It must be satisfied that the applicant, your son, will be living with the lead applicant, you, in a suitable care arrangement that meets relevant UK legislation unless they are aged 18 or over. All arrangements for children's care and accommodation in the UK must comply with relevant UK legislation and regulations.

As with all decisions involving children, you must consider the best interests of the child and your safeguarding responsibilities in particular that the parent who is not coming to the UK has given their written permission and that care arrangements are suitable.

Since the UKVI requires you to evidence adequate maintenance and accommodation for your son, the following funds must be available to support the application: £315 for the first dependent child. Family members of people who have settled or have been granted British citizenship cannot have maintenance certified by a sponsor and must always show cash funds.

Is there anything else I can help with today?

May I know which documents did you provide for your child's application? Thank you.

I see. The following are usually required for your child's (dependent) visa application:

• Passport and two recent passport photographs
• Evidence of the child's - age
• Accommodation in the UK
• Documents to show that you meet the necessary financial requirements, including:
• Bank statements of the parent who is residing in the UK
• A letter from your employer, including your job title, the period the parent has worked there, and your current salary
• 6 months' worth of payslips.

As with UKVI's request, you only need to provide proof of your accommodation. You can submit a:

• Hotel booking,
• Host invitation – if you are planning to stay over with friends or family members/relatives,
• Confirmation by an organised tour operator or holiday tours, or
• Rental agreement or contract.

Yes, correct.
